Arrow [y nears FATNT HAIR-BRUSH.

Application filed August 9, 1920.

T0 (ZZZ whom it may concern Be it known that I, EDWARD VVELLINGTON, a citizen of the Dominion of Canada, residing at Port Coquitlam, in the county of Vestminster and Province of British Columbia, have invented certain new and use ful Improvements in Hair-Brushes, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in hair brushes particularly adapted for use by ladies in brushing their hair.

At'the present time, ladies when performing their toilet, require to brush their hair first on the outside surface and then follow wit-h a secondary operation of brushing the hair from underneath, and the present invention permits of these two operations being completed simultaneously, so that a considerable time is saved besides which a better brushing of the hair is accomplished.

In order that my invention may be properly understood, I have illustrated some preferred embodiments which will now be described in the specification, after which the novel features will be disclosed in the claims.

In the drawings, there is shown a perspective view of my improved brush.

Referring to the drawings, 1 indicates my improved hair brush comprising a pair of levers 2 of ogec shape connected intermediate of their length by a rivet or pivot pin 3, and the shorter arms of the levers are split and bent in opposite directions as shown at l and secured by screws or other suitable means to the backs of the brushes 5.

By reference to the drawings, it will be seen that the brushes are spaced apart with the bristles adjacent to each other.

Since the brushes are arranged transversely of the levers, they provide a long bearing surface, so that consequently a broad strand of hair can be brushed during each operation of the brush.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented June 14:, 1921.

Serial No. 402,480.

The longer arms 6 of the levers form the hand grips and each hand grip is formed with a spring like member 7 which converge toward each other, so that the hand grips are normally held apart by the resilient force of the members 7.

The inner ends of the members-7 which abut or are located adjacent to each other, may for convenience be arcuate allowing them to yield, as otherwise if the adjacent ends were fiat they would act as a stop instead of a spring, but by the construction shown the brushes will be held in close contact with the hair so that when the brush is pulled by the user the desired friction is given to the hair. 7

It will be quite evident thata strand of hair placed between the brushes 5 will be simultaneously brushed on the outer and under sides.

I claim:

1. A hair brush comprising a pair of ogee levers pivoted intermediate their ends, the shorter arms of the levers eachihaving two prongs lying in a single plane in the general direction of the levers, brushes connected to said prongs, and spring members carried by the longer arms of the levers an converging toward each other.

2. A hair brush comprising a pair of le vers pivoted intermediate of their ends, brushes attached to one end of the levers and transversely thereof with the bristles disposed toward each other, said levers being shaped so that their ends are opposed spring members on the other end of the levers, the spring members converging and having their ends adjacent.

In testimony whereof I afiiX my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
